OLB Derek Largent re-aggravated his sprained knee and will be day-to-day.

Kaehler to start

Even though QB Quinn Kaehler threw two costly interceptions at the end of the game, he did enough to keep the starting job for another week.

“Quinn played very well until the last two minutes of the game,” Long said. “Quinn is still the starter.”

The Pick-Six drive

Kaehler’s first interception came with about 2:40 left in the game, on second-and 19 from the SDSU 16-yard line, with SDSU up 30-28.

Why pass on second down?

“The idea was to run and throw safe passes in order to get first downs and run out the clock,” Long said. “We ran the ball (on first down) and Adam was hit for no gain, so on second down, to get a first down, we called a very safe pass – a screen is usually a safe pass—and the ball just got away from him.”
